The Motive Unknown Podcast

The Motive Unknown Podcast is a monthly talk show around the latest developments in the music industry. Hosted by Darren Hemmings, the show digs through the latest trends in music and tech and also answers questions from listeners relating to both the industry developments and music marketing in general. Dig in!

This month we settle back with our standard G&T beverages to discuss whether the industry is right to complain about things like YouTube, or whether a counter-argument may be that the issue here is not YouTube's payouts, but the failure of the music business to adapt to and embrace the opportunities presented. The charts also come under the spotlight amid calls for a shake-up here in the UK, and elsewhere we discuss Deezer and - gulp - Brexit. Dive in!
